In addition to giving you even more questions, we've also made it easier for you to find relevant questions by doubling the number of categories, and listing more questions in each category. Have a look and see for yourself... webmaster@medicaladmissions.co.uk (Matt Dinnery) Sat, 11 Apr 2009 17:15:48 GMT http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/ http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/?guid=8 Our 'Did you know?' bank has just been updated to include more facts and dates that you need to know about as a medical applicant.

Before the new year we aim to have added a further 40 or so questions to the bank, taking the total to well over 125! admin-team@medicaladmissions.co.uk (Dr Rob Rigley) Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:51:31 GMT http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/interviews/question.php http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/interviews/question.php?guid=6 Most of the Admin Team have been working round-the-clock all week long to get a massive 89 new questions added to our ever growing question banks. Why not pop over and have a look, and start thinking about your answers before you get an interview letter? admin-team@medicaladmissions.co.uk (Dr Rob Rigley) Sun, 09 Nov 2008 15:55:20 GMT http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/index.php http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/index.php?guid=5 After re-writing some of the fundemental bits that power Medical Admissions, we're pleased to tell you that we've now got a Did You Know box that is filled with random facts about Medical Applications.

We're pleased to announce that it should now be possible for you to 'log in automatically each visit', and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We've also re-arranged the UCAS forums, and split them under the headings of 'Apply' and 'Track'. Once again, we apologise for any disruption this downtime has caused! forum-team@medicaladmissions.co.uk (Matt Dinnery) Fri, 24 Oct 2008 15:00:00 GMT http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/forum/index.php http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/forum/index.php?guid=2 Just to inform you, the forum will be offline for approximately 1 hour between 2pm and 4pm on Friday, 24th October 2008. This is so that we can fix the issue you reported to us, saying that the forum doesn't remember your login when you tick the box. We're also using this opportunity to make a couple of other small upgrades! forum-team@medicaladmissions.co.uk (Matt Dinnery) Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:00:00 GMT http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/index.php http://www.medicaladmissions.co.uk/index.php?guid=1 Our aim is to widen access to medicine and by doing this we hope to increase the number of successful applications of students from a wide range of backgrounds, thus encouraging a breed of doctors who have a greater understanding of the diverse culture in which we now live. We are not alone in this aim. The GMC have stated in their document 'tomorrows doctors' that they "envisage a medical workforce that is truly representative of the community it serves". Securing a place at medical school is a tough challenge for most applicants. In 2007 there were approximately 3 applicants for every place. Many other keen and potentially suitable applicants were put off applying after being advised by their teachers/ family, "expert" friends etc that they would stand little chance of success. Sometimes it is a natural fear of failure that holds someone back from applying. This website is about helping you, the potential doctor, increase your awareness of whether medicine is the right career choice for you. It is about levelling the playing field by taking some of the myths out of what it takes to make a successful application. It is about helping you throughout the interview process. webmaster@medicaladmissions.co.uk (Matt Dinnery) Sat, 27 Sep 2008 09:00:00 GMT
